Five years ago

It's amazing to think about how much life has changed over the last five years.

Oct. 2006
I was living in a triple in mt sorority house with two of my favorite people, Jana and Heather. I was just applying to dental school. Had started dating yet another frat boy (thank goodness those days are behind us right Heather? Hahaha). I was working in a research lab.

Oct. 2007
Living at home with my parents because I had opted to not take my acceptance to NYU dental school. Had reapplied to dental school, and had received my deferral to Case. At this point (or soon after) I had received my interview to UOP and thought that I would probably be going there for dental school (well we all know how that turned out). I was working front office at a dental office and worked 1 day a week as an assistant at another office. I was single and just enjoying the time away from school.

Oct. 2008
I had just started school at Case, moved outside of CA for the first time in my life. I was living in an awesome duplex with Brit. and Kate. I was still single and just enjoying making new friends. Trying to figure out my life.

Oct. 2009
I had moved into the delt house with Art, had recently gotten engaged. Had gotten my baby boy (my cat sniper) with Art. So busy with school work, studying for NBDE I. Trying to keep myself sane. I just remember being so over whelmed with school at this point. Life was amazing but crazy busy.

Oct. 2010
Was still living in the delt house. Was trying to plan our wedding. Art was busy trying to finish up school with boards and requirements. I was just getting in the routine of working in clinic and seeing real patients and doing "real" dentistry.

Oct. 2011
I have now been married fro almost 1 year. I am STILL living in the same room at the delt house with my baby boy, but Art has since moved out. I have been separated from my husband (by physical space not a relationship separation) for almost 5 months now. I am trying to finish up school...patients, exams, and such. Life has been great, yet with Art working in Chicago it has been tough at times.

Just weird to think that in five years soooo much has changed in my life. I love where I am in life right now...although I really miss my husband. Where were you 5 years ago? Crazy huh?
